Re: wireless connection to a TV.

Not that I'm into it, but I suppose people who have had their Interior
Decorator in to perfectly place that wide screen TV up high on their wall,
and had their electrician/carpenter carefully put cable and/or lan
connection to the monitor,
might cringe with some hdmi cable stringing down the wall to either
directly to the laptop or to some hdmi-to-wireless converter on a coffee
table shoved underneath it.

Is there a better solution?

Sent by: pctech-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx Intel created a standard called WiDi. See http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/intel-wireless-display.html . Some laptops already include it, but you'll almost certainly need a receiver box on the TV. For HD DVR-to-TV via wireless, I'm looking forward to Dish Network's Hopper: http://www.dish.com/technology/hopper/ You can, BTW, get HDMI cables that length: http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10240 On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 1:48 PM, Pat Barber <mboceanside@xxxxxxx> wrote:
